Having lived in a tent with his family for eight months, Zhang Zhenlin might have to continue this life for a time since the 30,000 yuan compensation only built him the foundations of a house.

With four kids, Zhang Zhengyu's family were compensated with over 70,000 yuan for their home, which made them "the rich" in the neighborhood.

70-year-old Zhang Yongying prepared lunch in her temporary home.

Kids gathered in a bare, newly-built house.  

Everyday life seeps into any open space. 

Shortly after he celebrated the Spring Festival in his half-built home, this resident had no more money to go on with construction.  

In contrast to most of his neighbors who had almost finished building their houses, this resident was still laying the foundations.
